X/Y

X/Y

The heart wants, the flesh takes.

Directed by Ryan Piers Williams

201482 min4.8 / 10

A contemplative examination of desire, disconnection, and the gap between physical and emotional intimacy across four intertwined lives.

As Mark, Jen, Sylvia, and Jake navigate through their emotionally-arrested states, X/Y reveals the honest and wanton desire we all have to connect with someone and what is at stake when that connection fades.
